10 year old Archie Crumb is having a tough time. Picked-on at school, picked last for any team, his dad has a new wife and little daughter and not much time for Archie, and his mum is struggling. But things start looking up when Archie comes off his bike, bumps his head, and literally sees stars...

It was a very inspirational and good book overall.

the main character, Archie, is my favorite character in this story as his favourite character, Lucas Bailey, grants him nine wishes. I would recommend this story to children who like to laugh a lot.

It repeated quite a lot of things in the book which was a little but annoying but still a good read.

It was great. If you like football I would recommend this book for you. Also if your lucky number is nine read it now! I loved all the wishes and how some of them backfired.

This book is about a boy called Archie who thought he was rubbish at things but then when he was riding a bike ,he imagined he came to space and then he saw his fav football player in front him who grants him 9 wishes. He used 8 wishes but I did not know what he will do with the 9th one. Archie had a football show but his mother always stayed in bed and was getting better. She could not come to Archie's football match but Scadge and his dad came to the match. I liked the character Scadge, Julie and Mouse.

One of the best books I've ever read because it is so hard to grab you into a book and it was so strange at the start but then it was great at the end. πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I learn that when you make a wish and you do something good it will come true

I like this author so I reserved this book from the library. My favourite part was the cliffhanger at the end. It is about a poor boy who meets his football hero and he grants him nine wishes! I reccomend it if you like football or if you are age 9-12.
